I was out raking leaves today and it occurred to me that I haven’t seen anyone using a rake in years. While I whooshed leaves with my rake, all around me I heard that annoying leaf blower sound. I really appreciate the quietness of raking.

This rake will probably remain in this position, but who knows when I will try to tackle the back yard task.
3 exposure hdr to not lose the detail in either the shadows or the light.
Built in the early 19th century Rakes Mill Pond was the brainchild of Jarman Rakes. Rakes Mill Pond is a dammed up pond and creates a swamp similar to what a beaver dam would do. The pond is located just past Mile Marker 163 going south on the Blue Ridge Parkway. You can pull out and park on site. Walk down to the dam and put your hand in the water. You will see a 15 foot water fall.

A word of thanks to the contractor involved who was raking in first cut silage near Rathcormac County Cork
Flying Cloud's masts all raked backward one and one-quarter inch per foot of mast height. This design characteristic -- common among clipper ships -- allowed the wind to lift the ship while plowing forward rather than the wind driving the clipper ship's much sharper bow under water at speed...dangerous to crew and vessel alike as well as a serious concern to insurance underwriters.
Mast rake also reduced the ship's inclination to alternately pitch forward and aft along the ship's centerline...pitching forward followed by the stern slamming down on her transom overhang aft under certain challenging sea conditions.

I saw this couple raking hay at about 6 o'clock in the evening near Bialystok in the Eastern Region of Poland.
I stopped to take this and some other photographs and talk to them. They were 74 years old and had been working in the hot sun since 9 o'clock. We talked in my limted Polish about their small field and their concern with its future after they died. Like many people from Polish villages, their son had left to go to find work in Warsaw where he now lived and would not return to tend the field and live in a village in a small house.
I was touched by the simple, but hard life this couple had lived and by the sense I had of their closeness. I wondered what would happen when one of them died.
This was two years ago and I often think of them as I look at this photograph that hangs in my office. I feel honored to have captured this and to have preserved some of it far away as I continue my own life in a much more priviliged world.
I had the kite up for another time lapse but totally messed up the viewing angle. Just as well I had low level back up.....

What's a tench rake I hear you ask? Well. It's thrown into a lake to rake up the bottom so the fish (tench) become intrigued and investigate. This one is uniquely fashioned by it's owner with extra lead strips fixed to it.
After the herbicide treatments fully eliminate the exotic grasses, the restoration site is prepared using a root-rake. Root-raking is similar to disking. It's a mechanical treatment that is geared toward removing and chopping up heavier woody debris and thick root mats.
